Averkiou - Fuzzy Photograph

Making noise is easy, anyone can do it. What is trickier is taming the noise and then putting a leash on it. Which is exactly what Florida quintet Averkiou do on their latest track "Fuzzy Photograph."

"Fuzzy Photograph", with its scuzzy guitars, which mix with tender vocal harmonies to make off-kilter pop tunes, calls to mind Teenage Fanclub during their "Thirteen" era. It's quite a noisy track, but it is kept under control in such as way that it doesn't feel unharmious. It's a great introduction to a band that I will be keeping my eye on in the future.

"Fuzzy Photograph" is the first track from Averkiou's "New Imperative E.P", which will be released on February 10th.

About The Captain

So what can I tell you about myself? I am from Belfast. I enjoy writing about new music, which keeps me afloat. The Guardian once profiled this blog. I'm old enough to have experienced the Walkman without being retro, but not old enough to have used MySpace whilst it was still cool. I was nominated for the Sony Radio Golden Headphones Award in 2013. Caramacs and Battenberg are life affirming, and the moment some bright spark combines the two my life will be complete.
